My Post-Inaugural Post

So, it turns out Fidel Castro is a big Obama fan... At least according to the Argentine president who watched the inauguration with Fidel. Wow, that sure reassures me! A communist dictator likes your guy... Big surprise. Next Chavez will sing his praises.

I spent a little time mucking around with a neat little program called Obamiconme. Here's what I came up with:

Notice Anything About These Actual Mugshots?

Can any of you find one with a McCain/Palin T-Shirt?

More Liberal Morality on Display

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested today after FBI wiretaps caught him conspiring to sell the US Senate seat vacated by President elect Obama. Other charges include that he also threatened to withhold state help for a childrens' hospital unless sizable campaign contributions were given. In addition, Blagojevich is accused of threatening to withhold state aid to the Chicago Tribune in the sale of Wrigley Field unless the paper fired editorial writers who had been critical of his administration (more "unbiased" press no doubt).

Upon hearing of the charges, Obama made every effort to put as much distance as possible between himself and the fallen governor. Let's not forget however that both Blagojevich and Obama shared in the efforts of fallen campaign fund raiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

Drought Warning - Re-post

In regards the outcome of the election my only thought is to re-post something I wrote in September of 2006 that I think is especially apropos to this moment and prophetic:

Some Americans are never going to wake up to the facts. The problem is our predecessors have done their job too well.

You see a person by nature is going to always wonder if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

Our fore-fathers have however won some very hard fights. They carved a nation from the wilderness and won independence for it. They spilled their blood to preserve that union against those who did not place value on the principle of freedom for all men. They went to Europe three times to prevent the spread of extremist regimes (twice Germany once Russia).

Beyond military might, they flexed their muscles also in the realm of industry and built the single largest economy on the face of the planet.

Things are damned good here and since the end of the civil war with very few exceptions people have been able to rest on the fact that their homes are safe from marauding armies. For about 140 years we've lived in the safest place on Earth.

Generations of Americans have grown up not knowing true deprivation or desperation. Children have been raised by parents that have not experienced it and those parents' parents have not experienced it.

So now comes that age old question again "is the grass greener on the other side of the fence?" Without having experienced "the other side of the fence" these spoiled children are certain that the grass is indeed greener. They do not know the true value of the peace and security that their predecessors have purchased with their blood and toil.

The pacifists cry about war and suffering and yet do not value the peace that they themselves live in.

The socialist left does not value the gift of true economic freedom.

The entitlement junkies are not thankful for the opportunity to make of themselves whatever their industry and toil can achieve.

The greener grass question has grown louder and more insistent the longer it's been since a drought. Without experiencing periods of shriveled brown grass, they have no basis for comparison. Unfortunately folks, I fear there is nothing to quell the cries of the pampered & spoiled masses short of a dry period.

Some of us who have experienced brown grass first-hand know the horror of its effect.

There are those who cry when some died in a sports stadium because the government was slow to do for them that which they should have done for themselves. They are incapable of contrasting that with the situation in another sports stadium half-a-world away where another government collected thousands of their citizens and loosed a mob of machete wielding maniacs on them. Men, women and children alike were felled under that rain of steel.

They cry about the horrors of war without having seen its effects close up and personal, but yet they delude themselves into believing they are experts on the subject. They believe that everyone must be spared the experience of seeing it and do not understand that by doing so, they are asking to see war on their own lands.

They bemoan the necessity for toil as deprivation. They want the government to cater to their every need. Yet they've never seen the sad situation when such a government closes its borders with fences, mines, dogs and troops in an effort to "protect" the people... "Protect" them from escaping that is...

Sorry folks, but I have to believe that this nation is headed for a brown-grass period. Some cry about global warming and claim that mankind is causing it, but don't understand that their own actions equate to a global warming of another kind. A kind that will soon deliver a drought of unrivalled proportions onto the lands of this nation's peace and prosperity.

I do not look forward to the drought, but I do look forward to its aftermath; a more appreciative public. Be ready when it comes as its been long delayed in coming. To quote a line from a Tool song "learn to swim"!

Thomas Jefferson was quoted as having the opinion that the government of a nation should experience an uprising of its citizenry at regular intervals to remind it who it serves. In a similar vein, I believe that the citizenry needs to experience hardship on an equally regular basis to remind them how blessed they truly are.

I fear tonight the drought has begun.

Election Day 2008

Well my friends and faithful readers, we stand once again upon that familiar precipice. We look out over the vast chasm of possibilities and wonder what new reality tomorrow might bring.

Will we wake to a world where our nation is ruled by the whims of the fickle fad following hordes that believe science is done by consensus and it takes a village to raise a child? The same gaggle that believes that disarming the law-abiding is key to the reduction of violent crime.

Or, will we wake to a world where the far more preferable candidate, common sense and pragmatism have prevailed in the face of the prevailing wind of cultish celebrity worship.

The choice is yours my friends. You have the power to decide our fates. It is in your hands. You must express your will and make your voice be heard. If you do not than you can not complain about the outcome.

The Debates Are In The Bag

Well I've just finished watching the last debate.

I think McCain did better. Not as feisty as I'd have liked, but he certainly improved his aggressiveness. I think that he threw a few good blows, but there were a few times where he really could have closed the deal. He really could have driven the stake home in Obama's soul-less heart. Somehow Reverend Wright never made his appearance and never once did McCain ask Obama if the proposals he was making were being made by the gun-loving, god-fearing Obama or the gun owners and religious folks are bitter Obama. Further he never asked if Obama condones the registration of the Dallas Cowboys by Acorn in Las Vegas or any of the other attrocites they've been perpetrating. Why is it that we Republicans think we have to win fair and square but the libs have no problems with attempts to skew the game? Oh well, I guess that's just more of those liberal propensities...

Barrack for his side did well. The expectations for him were hard for him not to meet. I mean all he had to do was not massively swallow his foot. He did at times look a little smug and laugh condescendingly though. McCain on the other hand however made a few odd faces.

I guess we are back to a rather familiar song and dance. The American people are presented with a choice between an unqualified skilled orator and a skilled candidate that presents his oratory less smoothly. The libs have been trying to present a series of orators as candidates lately. No doubt trying to create their own version of a "great communicator". Unfortunately for them, none of the dweebs they've been presenting can hold a candle to Ronnie.

Oh well I do have to admit that I am a bit disgruntled lately. I mean suddenly the government has nationalized banks and is acting like Hugo Chavez and neither candidate seems to think that is a problem. Welcome to the new Socialist States of America!

I guess that means I will have to dutifully go and cast my ballot for John McCain since he's the candidate that presents the least propensity for damage rather than gleefully doing so, but I have to admit that I am growing more uneasy doing that again.

Yo, John!

Ok I think I really need to say something here. Maybe I'm the only one thinking this but somehow I doubt it. John McCain is supposedly some rough tough American hero. I thought he was supposed to have an atrocious temper. This is supposed to be the guy that was hard enough to survive a horrible crash and still not want to quit fighting... So where the hell is that much touted spine? I mean Obama has been riding his ass unrelentingly about being a "deregulator" that helped run the economy into the ground. Where's the temper? He's letting Obama bullshit his way into winning the god damned election. He's left the libs neuter him, I mean god forbid that he show a little righteous indignation and actually speak his mind lest we think him some foul temered ogre...

I'm sorry John but you need to get mad. You need to get spitting mad. The next time that you're standing on the debate stage and that smarmy-assed condescending twit is reeling out his very best bullshit line and blaming you for the shitty state of the economy stand up, walk over and tap your finger in the middle his chest and unflinchingly tell him:

"Damn it Barack, I've stood by and listened to you roll out that tired line of bull shit long enough. Here I thought that if I gave you a chance you might find a set of balls and act like a real man. You know, own up to your lies, but it appears that you are without honor. You know damned well that the state of the economy is directly attributable the actions of your buddies ACORN, Dodd, Ried, Frank, Carter and Clinton. You know that when it came to regulating our way out this mess it was you and them that PREVENTED us from protecting the American people against this crash. It is YOUR crash and I'm damned tired of taking the rap for the lot of you bastards!"

Damn it John, get pissed. Stop milk-toasting your way out of a term in the White House. Act like the man we all know that you can be and show the American people your moxie.

Succinct

That was rather well done.

Bailout Blame

The dems like to play the blame game for the current financial woes... They say that "deregulation" is the cause and that the Republicans are the villains...

Really?

Have a look at the Community Reinvestment Act...

The Community Reinvestment Act is a United States federal law that requires banks and savings and loan associations to offer credit throughout their entire market area. The act prohibits financial institutions from targeting only wealthier neighborhoods with their services...

The purpose of the CRA is to provide credit, including home ownership opportunities, to under-served populations...

The CRA mandates that each banking institution be evaluated to determine if it has met the credit needs of its entire community...

In other words it requires banks to give mortgages to poor people. Poor people aren't famous for paying back loans. It wasn't the Republicans that did that! In fact it was Jimmy Misery-Index Carter.

As if that wasn't bad enough, old Bubba Clinton had his hands in it as well:

In early 1993 President Bill Clinton ordered new regulations for the CRA which would increase access to mortgage credit for inner city and distressed rural communities.[6] The new rules went into effect on January 31, 1995 and featured: requiring numerical assessments to get a satisfactory CRA rating; using federal home-loan data broken down by neighborhood, income group, and race...

Yeah... income group... Sound financial judgement there, requiring banks to make loans to poor people. Thanks Bubba! If only you had paid more attention to humping hideous hose beasts and left the economy alone.

Yeah but the Bush administration didn't do anything to avert this catastrophe right? they simply fiddled while the economy went to hell in a hand basket right?

Bzzzt! Wrong answer:

In 2003:

"The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago...

A new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac..."

That move was opposed by the democrats because it would limit those organizations' ability to make loans to low-income borrowers...

Again, because poor people are so famous for paying off loans...

In response Barney Frank said:

"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

FYI, "Affordable housing" is a liberal code word, double speak for "sub-prime mortgages".

Finally in 2005 John McCain co-sponsored the Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act... Remember, Obama says McCain is a "De-regulator"... The dems say we Republicans are "De-regulators"... We are to blame. Seems to me that Nero was fiddling while Rome burned. They wanted NOTHING to interfere with their cash-cow. They blocked McCain's effort to enact regulatory oversight on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...

Here's some educational viewing that the democrats tried to silence (god knows they hate the truth and free speech):



...and another gem:



Now we're left with the unsavory prospect of coughing up $700,000,000,000.00 to pay for another hair-brained leftist social experiment. The folks over at the Sniper blog have a must-read little post that puts that number in harsh perspective.

You know what Barrack... If we have to pony up $700 BILLION to bail out your mess. I think you ought to pony up the $126,349.00 that you received in donations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! Oh and stop trying to stuff PORK into the bail-out bill for your party sponsored institutionalized liberal voter fraud machine ACORN!

Bailout Shot Down in Flames

The American people spoke loudly and Washington DC actually listened today. Both Obama & McCain are calling this atrocity a "rescue plan"... I call in a gift to Wall Street. I have over the years bought quite a few lottery tickets. I've dropped quite a few bucks in slot machines over the years and during my last trip to Las Vegas lost quite a bit of money gambling. For some reason I doubt that Washington is going to reimburse me for my losses... Why then should they bail out Wall Street speculators.

The democrats are trying to pin this financial flub on the Republicans and yet in instance after instance blame can easily be assigned to them just as readily as their adversaries. No Ms. Pelosi this is not Bush's mess. YOUR party has control of the Congress. If you had sent legislation to Mr. Bush's desk and he had used the veto pen, then you could have perhaps assigned him fault. You instead have sent nothing of value to the president's desk to warn the American people of this "catastrophe". In fact, why is it your party that is so steeped in Fannie & Freddie green? Why is the democratic chairman of the very oversight committee that should have warned us about this catastrophe at the top of their donation list and YOUR party's candidate for president in the second slot?

Then the democrats are trying to say that the failure of the bill's passage is also the Republican's fault... Who is it that has the majority in the House? If that majority had voted for the bill then it would have sailed right through. Pelosi is attempting to pin her inability to rein in her own party on the Republican's lap. Nice try Nan.

Liberal Proclivities

Once again we've witnessed the liberal proclivity toward crime. The son of a democratic Tennessee state senator is being investigated for the break in.

You know you don't see Republicans doing these sorts of things to democrats. This is just one further verification of my contention that liberalism is synonymous with criminality. The liberals sure like to bitch and belly ache about eavesdropping on terrorists and enemies of our country but boy-oh-boy they don't have ANY compunctions about eavesdropping in this instance. Obviously they only support eavesdropping on their adversaries... What does that say about their relationship with those terrorists? You know, like Obama's buddy Billy (let's blow up the Pentagon) Ayers...

In further proof of the media's bias against Republicans, the following is widely mentioned in news articles about this matter:

"The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply."

So the AP refuses to help the Secret Service to investigate the crime... nice.

You wonder why I dislike liberals so... It is low-life, no-class tactics like this. You see these sort of things so often from their side with so very little reciprocity from the right. This inherent criminal component of the liberal psyche is what drives their world view. That is why they are so anxious to ban gun ownership... Because when they look into their own cold, hard hearts they see the criminal proclivities openly lurking there fighting to boil to the surface. Clearly if they couldn't be trusted with a gun, then no one could... They fail to understand that not everyone is infected with their festering criminality... well either that or they're scared they'll get shot while breaking into a conservative's property.

Liberal Patriotism

So Joe Biden contends that a person's patriotism is measured by their desire to pay taxes... You know what Joe? Charlie Rangel wishes you'd shut your mouth. Obama on the other hand seems to like talking about how many homes McCain owns, but inquiring minds want to know how many homes Charlie owes taxes on... Considering the fact that Rangel chairs the committee that writes the tax law, how hollow is his "I didn't know I owed it" defense for his tax evasion?

Heartless Ghoul

Run as you will Barry, but your record will follow you.

He didn't vote "yes" or even "present" as he did on so many other issues. He voted "No" to providing health care to infants. He preferred instead that they be left uncared for to die in pain and discarded.

A Political Equation

Here is a little political math for you...

IS TO

AS

IS TO

The more I hear, the more I really like the Palins. It is really clear that they are real red meat Americans. They are precisely the kind of people that inhabit most of "fly-over country"... They are not representative of the snooty liberal elites that inhabit their haughty polluted cities on the parenthetical coasts of this nation like parasites feasting on the bounty that their interior inhabiting "inferiors" provide.

I just watched Todd Palin's first national interview with Greta van Sustern. It was interesting that I didn't feel any creepy feeling exuding from him like there is when I see the Ms. Obama. There was no slip up revealing a true hatred for America like ol' Michelle's. I also failed to get the idea that this guy harbors any hidden derision for those of us who "cling" to god or guns.

Why does genuineness so irk the left? They are so busy loathing the rich and those who embrace religion (provided that religion is traditional religion and not wicca, islam, scientology or some other tripe), Why do they hate those who are not like them, like those who pursue traditional means to feed and protect their families? They call us "the haters" and yet they are the ones being hateful.

Let me ask you this... Who would you rather be trapped in a survival situation or natural disaster with? You know, a hurricane, plane crash or blizzard. If the world went to hell in a hand basket and all the infrastructure that you have grown so accustomed to should suddenly fall away leaving nothing but bare naked need who would you rather have by your side? The moose huntress and the professional fisherman -or- the community organizer and the ... um what the hell does Michelle do any ways? Why would your choice differ for a survival situation for this entire nation?

Oh well... nuf' said on that... otherwise they'll remember that Barack isn't running against Sarah Palin... He's running against McCain.

Utter Panic

Our chums, the libs have their panties in a wad. How dare John McCain select Sarah Palin to run with him as his VP candidate.

Rather than differing with her politics, they're running around yipping about "How can Sarah Palin raise that special needs baby if she's serving as Vice President?"

Let me get this straight... The party that is always positing that women can be professionals and pursue a career and still be moms is asking this question?

Next they turned on her husband. First he was arrested for a DUI 22 years ago. You know back when Barack was a coke whore, Todd Palin had a few too many beers once. (People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones) Then they are throwing hissy fits because Todd registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party twice. Let me make this clear... Todd Palin is not the candidate, Sarah is.

Then the lowest of all... It turns out that Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant. The KOS cretins were running around claiming that Sarah's downs syndrome child was actually her daughter's... These are the people who are out handing out condoms to kids in school (since we all know that condoms are 100% effective at preventing pregnancy). These are the people who want kids to be able to go get abortions at any age without their parents being informed. These are the people who are preaching a sermon of free sex without consequences. These are the people that firmly control the schools and are openly using them as indoctrination centers... In this day and age where the power of parents is being steadily eroded by more and more liberal social experiments that they are foisting upon us, they are attempting to indicate that Sarah Palin is in some way less honorable because her 17 year old daughter is pregnant...

Here's the way I see it. Sarah Palin is the mother of a perfectly typical American family that is suffering the same kind of set backs that many other American family's are experiencing these days. She is a strong and caring parent and a strong and caring politician. Attacking her child's youthful mistake is indicative of the pathetic desperation and insipid moral qualities of the people who seek to oppose her.

You people lack any semblance of class.

Sarah Palin

Let's face it, I have been critical of John McCain's presidential bid, I've made no secret of that. I do disagree with many of his former signature issues (McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy for example). It is however time that common sense prevails. Clearly, he is far more liberal than I prefer -BUT- he is VASTLY preferable to the alternative.

So, after Obama's pretentious appearance to great fanfare at the Obamarthenon before the throngs of approving Hollywood elites and brain-dead zombies in Denver (I mean Oprah Winfrey cried her false eyelashes off for Christ's sake so you have to vote for this guy right?), John McCain made a decision that I strongly support! This selection displays a political savvy that is quite admirable. I agree with the selection of Sarah Palin and in fact feel more comfortable supporting McCain's bid for the presidency because of it.

The liberals threw absolute frothing fits at her selection however. Within moments of the announcement of her addition to the ticket, Obama spokesman Bill Burton quipped "Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency".

My response to Mr. Burton's comment is this... Last week, the democrats relegated the most experienced man on their ticket to a position estranged by one heartbeat from the presidency and put a far less qualified individual in the driver's seat.

Sarah Palin has executive experience and as Joe Biden himself remarked, the presidency is ill-suited to on the job training.. but the Vice Presidency is precisely the place to train for the presidency. Many of our best presidents initially found their stride in the shadow of the chief executive. Sure, she's only been a governor for two years, but your top man has only three and a half years as a do-little senator and he's spent the vast majority of that term doing nothing for his constituency other than campaigning to abandon the office they elected him to fill.

In one fell swoop, John McCain has effectively stolen the mantra of change from the Obama campaign. Obama can now only impotently attempt to evoke the word "change" as it is now nothing more than an empty campaign slogan falling fallowly from his mouth. Obama's selection of Joe Biden has sealed that deal. Let's face it, Joe Biden was in the Senate when Lincoln made the Gettysburg address. He is a part of the old Washington orthodoxy... the very embodiment of the status quo. Sarah Palin on the other hand, is an utter fresh breeze from a state as far distant from Washington DC as can possibly be.

Sarah Palin has FAR more relevant experience to fill the position for which she's been nominated than Obama does to fill the position to which she aspires not to mention the haughty role he wants to take.

Obama froths wild-eyed and incoherently about bringing unity to Washington DC and yet he's only ever shown unity with domestic terrorists, convicted real estate shysters, racists and marched in locked step with the far left fringes of his own party (i.e. Cindy Sheehan, George Soros, MoveOn.Org, Nancy Pelosi, etc...) The only time he can cite any example of reaching across the aisle is a failed attempt to work together with John McCain himself. Sarah Palin is a fighter and a maverick. She's battled the corrupt establishment in her own party. Beyond which she has a far higher approval rate among her constituency than either Biden or Obama does among theirs.

Barack Obama has cut off the funding to the troops in the midst of battle, leaving them without bullets and bandages with hot lead still slicing through the air and tearing through limbs. He pledged to cut the military in the midst of this global war. The closest Barack Obama has come to the military is to have once made a whirlwind tour that included a stop in Iraq where he ignored the advice of General David Petraeus. Sarah Palin on the other hand has commanded the Alaska National Guard and is a blue star mother. She has a vested interest in providing the very best for our troops and thereby her son.

Barack likes to tell you to fill your tires as an energy plan. He expresses remorse for the rapidity with which gas prices have risen (not that they've risen), but he has no plan what-so-ever to reduce the cost of energy for American households. He makes vague vows to ween us off of foreign oil in a decade ostensibly by allowing demand to diminish by pricing energy out of the reach of the average American family, leaving them to shiver without heat in the cold of winter and walk to walking to work. Sarah Palin on the other hand is the Governor of one of the largest energy producing states in the union and with all of the talk about drilling in ANWR, she's probably one of the few in the debate that have actually been there. They make their familiar claim that because she's a Republican that as such she's in "big oil's pocket" and yet she's made her mark fighting oil industry corruption of Alaska's politics and raised taxes on big oil to the benefit of the people who elected her to office. She certainly is not in big oil's pocket.

Obama likes to pay feeble, hollow lip service at Saddleback about reducing abortion rates and abortion being a bad thing, but he fails to mention his refusal to protect a downs syndrome baby who was born alive after a botched late-term abortion... A baby that was found discarded alive, crying and in pain in a waste closet. To him, it is far more important to protect a woman's ability to selfishly murder their baby at any point in their pregnancy from any possible chance of limitation than it is to provide medical care to helpless living babies. Sarah Palin on the other hand stood by her convictions regarding the sanctity of life and welcomed a downs syndrome child into her own loving family.


Barack revels in his celebrity. He struts about in the adulation of show-biz luminaries. His staged photo-ops remind me of Hitler's rallies at Zepplin Field or a Rolling Stones concert, Sarah Palin on the other hand is far more comfortable in the field hunting caribou, riding a snowmobile or attending an ice hockey game. Obama slurps caviar and Dom Perginon while Palin prefers moose stew. Sarah Palin represents the vast majority of Americans far better than the elitist Barack could ever dream of.

Obama's spouse has no feelings of pride for America until her hubby got promoted to pinko deity status. Sarah Palin's hubby on the other hand lives the hard life of a Alaskan fisherman. He doesn't have time to harbor festering anti-American sentitments, he's too busy working to feed us.

So in short, Sarah Palin is far more qualified to be the Vice President than Barack and he's not aspiring to the Vice Presidency he's chasing Presidency itself! Her selection was a very savvy move by John McCain. With this choice he has assured that regardless who wins the election, a historical precedent will be set. Sarah Palin is a strong conservative voice augmenting McCain's inadequacies.

Let's face it, I'd quite frankly rather vote for Genghis Khan than Barack Osama-bama, but with McCain's selection of Sarah Palin, I am now much more comfortable with casting my vote for John McCain.

So the choice is yours. Where do you want the neophyte? Holding the reigns of power learning by trial and error -or- sitting in the co-pilot seat and learning from a tried hand?

Let's face it. Barack Obama just doesn't understand, maybe that's because he thinks that Sarah Palin is just another of us disillusioned folks clinging to her guns & religion...

Obama a Neo-Napolean?

Obama stood today before his adoring throngs of Europeans and made his very best campaign speech vying for the position of emperor of the world. Hundreds of thousands of people who obviously have no job to go to stood there and heard this idiot berate his country and the men and women who serve her. He stood there under the adulation of all of those socialists who hate us and played into their most evil vilification fantasies of us. Now, I know that most of my liberal readers (dense as they are) will debate this fact so let me point it out:

"Will we acknowledge that there is no more powerful example than the one
each of our nations projects to the world? Will we reject torture and stand for
the rule of law?"

Right here Obama insinuates that the good men and women of our military are torturers. He says that they are villains and criminals, rejecting the rule of law and engaging in torture. This is the same man that insists that the surge did not work and yet insists that we have a surge in Afghanistan. If it didn't work in Iraq, then why task our men and women in uniform with that failed tactic in another location? Obviously because he hates them.

Our troops have not engaged in torture. Saddam is the guy that engaged in torture and we deposed him remember? Obviously Barack believes that his countrymen are the ones that engage in torture by doing so.

Further the surge has worked. Our troops succeeded in providing the Iraqi people the security they needed to get out from under the rusty knives of Al Quaeda. Sunnis and Shiites are now working together to build a future for their country. Is there still work to be done? You bet! But the blood of our heroes has been spilt and not for nought! The surge has worked and it is now over. Give credit where credit is due you elitist prick! Admit you were wrong! Remember how they hounded George Bush to admit his "errors"? How about a little goosey-gander!

His hatred of the military must be why he shunned our injured heroes at Landstuhl Hospital in favor of a work out.

Now moving on along...

Remember his words that I pointed out before, let me highlight another small section of that quote before presenting another... That section consists of the words "stand for the rule of law". He insinuates that we as a nation should uphold the law and yet his very next statement was this little jewel:

"Will we welcome immigrants from different lands, and shun discrimination
against those who don't look like us or worship like we do, and keep the promise
of equality and opportunity for all of our people?"

So in other words we bigoted, hateful Americans need to be more welcoming of our "undocumented immigrant" neighbors. (Yeah calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacy".) So what ever happened to standing for the rule of law? Logic would dictate that we have laws, the illegal aliens broke them, end of story, but I guess you meant that we only should stand for the laws that don't hinder the people you think will vote for you. Nice way to have it both ways what an ass-hat, but then again he's a specialist at taking both sides of an issue isn't he?

Politics are supposed to end once you depart American shores. Someone obviously forgot to tell this jackass that. This is a guy that believes that America is beholden to the European elitists and that we need their permission and approval. I've got news. They never have liked us and never will. It doesn't matter what we do. They are jealous of our freedom, wealth and stature. That is why they do not like us. The days of the European empires has come and gone and America has ascended to supersede the old world and they resent that.

We strive to prevent Iran from getting nukes. We worry about Iran threatening Europe with them and have even gone so far as to disenfranchise the Russians by trying to build an anti-missile shield to protect their unappreciative euro-trash asses from them... But will they join with us an try to end Iran's quest for nuclear weapons? Hell no! Instead they make business deals with the regime that is killing and maiming our soldiers.

To hell with Europe and to hell with Barack Hussein Obama!

Why is he campaigning to the Europeans any ways? I mean Europeans can't vote in the election any ways. Maybe he should abandon his presidential aspirations and instead try to get elected as the president of the European Union.

There was one last quote I wanted to point out...

"As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice
caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought
to farms from Kansas to Kenya."

That is why Barack has no plans to help you with the soaring price of gas. To him, getting votes in Europe, protecting caribou and polar bears in the arctic from some imaginary climate threat is more important than you being able to get to work and put food on the table. If we are indeed in the midst of global warming... Why then did the Earth cool by 4 degrees last year according to the latest measurements? Barack doesn't care about you. The change he seeks is the demotion of America on the world's stage. He wants to redistribute your wealth to poor countries like Saudi Arabia. He's always talking about "hope" and "change" but all that translates to is... After the "change" he'll bring to the tax code you'll "hope" you have a little "change" left in your wallet!

I yield the soap box.

Another Notable Quote

... "And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

-Barack Hussein Obama

Let me make this clear you elitist communist pustule... I am gainfully employed. I don't cling to guns because I'm some bitter, hopeless, down and out small town hick. I cling to my guns because people like you think you know better how I should lead my life, raise my kids and spend my hard earned cash and you're perfectly willing to impose your deranged will on me... I cling to them because you hate the idea that free Americans have a god-given right to defend themselves not only from the acts of criminals, but also from elitist, fascist machinations by means of armed insurrection if needs be. You have forgotten the assertion by our founding fathers that a government rules only by the consent of the people.

Of course now you are back peddling like Lance Armstrong on a yellow jersey hunt from these snotty comments. You're trying to change what you said to mean something else. I don't buy it and neither should voters in Pennsylvania (or anywhere else for that matter). You were in San Francisco making private comments to your elitist supporters on the left coast. You didn't expect those words to be heard by the rank and file on the right coast. You are nothing more than a political chameleon that says one thing to one group of people and other things to other groups... whatever happens to be expedient at the moment. You were calling these people gun toting, superstitious, bigoted hicks and you know it! You however are the bigot for not only uttering, but also holding such views as these. Did you learn this hatred from your reverend Wright perhaps?

Dry Spell

I've not been posting much lately for several reasons. First off, I've been rather disheartened by the way the election has been going. It doesn't matter who gets selected by either party at this point, because we will have a liberal in the White House regardless which party wins. We can only hope that McCain selects a good solid conservative veep to help him with his street cred. The more I look at the situation, the more convinced I become to write in Rusty Shackleford for president.

Beyond being politcally frustrated (which I assure you will eventually pass) I'm also deeply involved in a side project that is consuming vast quatities of my time.

So be patient with me, I'm sure I will see some news article in the near future that will demand that I comment on it...

Brain Fart

The Republican party of the United States has suffered the greatest collective brain fart ever experienced. We've been bamboozled folks... Observe if you will the following image:


Can you point out the conservative candidate? Of course you can't because it was a trick question. There are no conservative candidates in the picture. The only true conservatives in this race are/were Tancredo and Thompson. We must spring into action, all of us together. We must prevent the unraveling of the Republican party. We have until "Super Tuesday" to make enough noise to ensure that this man does not emerge as the Republican nominee.

For decades now the liberals have been pulling this nation further and further to the left. Inching us ever further toward socialism & communism. Being peace seekers at heart, us conservatives have made one concession after another, believing that the liberals would in titt-for-tatt fashion concede on some of our issues. Of course they haven't because honesty is not a liberal virtue and as a result the "center" has migrated further and further to the left.

This man however...
(What you don't see in this photo is that Kennedy's hand is up McCain's ass and every time McCain utters a word, Kennedy's mouth moves)

Is no Republican. If he were to ascend to become the Republican Presidential candidate, he would be the first openly Democrat, Republican candidate in the history of the party. Time after time this man has sided with Democrats against reasonable conservative stances. He's opposed tax relief, true immigration reform, freedom of speech and placing conservative judges on the bench. It is time to start wondering if his time in that North Vietnamese POW camp has not set him up to be the perfect Manchurian candidate. Do not get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for the things that John McCain endured in the service of his nation. It is the things he's done since then that's given me cause to pause.

As Republicans it is time now for us to close ranks and refuse the liberals an assured victory in this coming presidential election. We need to speak now with one loud, resolved voice and say "No!" to a presidential race with two Democrat candidates. Our field of choices has narrowed significantly! None of those who remain are our best choice. Some time ago I made a post where I asked you, my readers to convince me which candidate to support. None of you could muster enough enthusiasm to come here and make an argument for any of the other candidates. I didn't even have a single one of the Ronpaulian horde drop by to tell me that their "candidate" is the best.

Therefore, I am resolved to support anyone but this farce of a candidate! I am not alone in that sentiment... Even Ann Coulter (not that you'd know she's a conservative) has come out and said if John McCain gets the nomination, she will campaign for Clinton!

Blogger after blogger has emerged to speak out against John McCain's candidacy... Here are just a few:

• Defiant Infidel
• Heidi Anne at Big Girl Pants
• Thomas Sowell
• David Limbaugh
• Mike Reagan

These are just a few that I've found. I'm sure if you look, you'll find many more! Other Republican notables including Mark Levin, Pat Toomey and Rush Limbaugh have spoken out against McCain.

As my friend over at the Defiant Infidel blog has pointed out, we, the conservative bloggers have risen up to great effect in the past. We stymied CBS' use of forged documents to fix the elections in 2004. We shot John McCain's "comprehensive immigration reform" (bullshit) out of the water. We can and do have a voice loud enough to ensure that this does not happen, if we all rise up as one and speak the heart of the Republican party. We must be loud enough to be heard over the incessant din of the mainstream media campaign fixers. He is their darling, not ours! We allowed them to shoot down the candidacy of Fred Thompson. We stood idly by and got ourselves into this predicament so now the time has come to cut bait or fish. What are you going to do? Are you going to speak or not?
